“GEORGIA MUST RAISE 1,200,000
BALES OF COTTON TO BRING
PROSPERITY BACK; CAN DO
DESPITE WEEVIL,” SAYS
SOULE
PRESIDENT OF STATE COLLEGE
OF AGRICULTURE SAYS MORE
DEPENDS ON CROP OF 3 923
THAN ANY OTHER IN HISTORY
By Dr. Anc'rew ft® Sous,"
(President State College of
Agriculture)
What should bo the policy of Geor
gia farmers toward cotton cultivation
in 1023? This is a question which prac
tically every land owner in Georgia
in Georgia is vitally concerned. Much
depends on the outcome of our cottn
crop in 1923—more probably than in
almost any other period of our pre
vious history 1 am one o those who
believe we have reached the turning
point, and are on the upgrade leaning
: towards prosperity and success.
J beleve that 1923 is a good year
provided we make the most oi our op
portunites and all the informa
tion we possess tc advantage.
]am in favor, therefore, of a
thoroughly constructive plolicy, and 1
think our farming program should be
predicted on a basis which under ra
; tional conditions, -should enable us to
add fifty million dollars to the value
of our farm crops iri 1923.
If we raise crops of the aggregate
minimum value of $260,000,000 iis
i year, Georgia will again be on the
high road to a prosperous era, and
much of the unhappiness and discon
tentnow witnessed so generally will
disappear. The achievment of the
end portrayed means that money will
again be in free circulation in the fall
Of 1923 and it will be so uniformly
distributed as to furnish funds for the
payment of at least a part of the ob
ligations which have been accumula
ting for the p?.st tv.,. or three years
DanseUsviMe, Georgia, Friday, Feb 2, 1923
leave something to be spent for pleas
ure and comfort, provide liberally for
the maintenance of our public wel
fare institutions and place a desirable
balance in the savings bank for a
rainy day. Can we carry this project
into effect? We certainly can, and 1
believe we are going to do it.
There is much talk of diversity at
the present time, and we have done
much more along this line than our
own people realize. Of the three dol
lars from the value of our farm crop
in 1022, two came from other sources
than cotton. We must not overlook
the fact that wo derived one of these
non-cotton dollars from livestock,
which was not taken into account by
the federal statistical service when
they recently published their estimate
of the value of Georgia farm crops
for 1923. So, our diversification pro
gjam at present stands on the basis
of one dollar cotton values as com
pared with two dollars from non-cot
ton sources.
Continue to Diversify
Let us continue to diversify. It is
fundimental to the maintenance of
our future succe-s and prosperity. The
record distinctly shows there is not
an over-supply of cotton in the world
at. the present time. It is, of course,
a possibility, though not a probabil
ity that over-production will take
place in 1923. Certainly, the cotton
farmer has many difficult conditions
and handicaps to meet and overcome
hetore this can occur.. Hence, I be
lieve that a reasonable acreage de
voted to cotton in 1923 represents a
good investment fox our farmer;;, pro
vided always, that provision is made
for the cultivation and management
of the croud *n a thoroughly up-to
date and efficient, manner.
) think our farmers should make a
definite effort this year, therefore, to
raise between 1,200,000 and $1,500,
000 bales of eottton. We can do this
and continue to lay a desirable degree
of emphasis on our program of diver
sified production. Wc can do this
without extending the acreage devot-
The accomplishment of this end will
result In adding $50,000,000 to the
value of our farm crops this year,
thereby enabling us to gain the ob
jective of our program. My suggest
ion means that we must raise a mini
mum of four hundred thousand bales
more cotton in 1923 than-we did in
1922.

FROM CHICAGO
Here is an interesting story of
young Commerce negro, who went
to Chicago three weeks ago died
pneumonia, and his remains shipped
back for interment: Leo Williams,the
young son of Griff Williams, of seu
this place was the unfortunate- Leo
like his father was a good honest, in
dustrious, law-abiding negro. He bad •
heard of the good times out east, aiul
wanted to try it ouf. So during re
cent Christmas d.ys, he left for Chi
cago. When he reached the city tha
thermometer registerd around Zero
He was not aciustomed to such coki
weather and like many others he aauir
took pneumonia and died.. Naturally ,
his -parents wanted Hi# remains
shipped back home for interment and
.they came to Mr .M. T. Sanders, an
undertaker of this place who btgans
negotiat’ons with a Chicago negro un
dertaker by telegraph. The Chicago u
undertake!’ wired back that the
total cost would be $252.00. Mr San
ders knew this was pure highway rob
bery, and refused to pay it. A norm
ber of telegrams followed, coating
some $12.00. Finally Mr Sander#
wired the undertaker to embalm the
body and ship it in a pauper’s eotfftn
and offered $65.00. The undertaker
held the body ten days before sbippngr
trying to force the parents fo pay
more. Finally he put the remain* not
in a coffin, but in a square box, awe
shipped it. On arrival, the lid har.
come off, one plank had fallen down
on the body and jobbed a hole* in. the*
head. On the toe a wire tag war.
